I selfishly asked God for new friends and for more marvelous comrades. Later that day He reveals to me that I already have awesome/marvelous comrades right in front of me…and He showed me the people who really care about my well being. Now I can’t help but be so thankful about the people around me. Thank you God so much…
lol i want to be an extreme couponer yet retain my pride.
would I look stupid for being cheap or would I be frugal for saving lots of $$$? :o
What puts me to tears is that Jesus is faithful to the end. To be honest, I haven’t been doing to well lately and this has been keeping me away from intimacy with God. With that, I’ve been losing hope with my family and everything else. I’ve been questioning my identity. I was stressed about not having an internship and just about my future and then I wondered how I’ve been able to no worry about these things during second semester. What made me so at ease and not be concerned about my future and career unlike the rest of my college friends. It came from having faith in the Lord.
I felt emotional when I found out that I got a solid shadowing opportunity with a physical therapist. I was ashamed that I had absolutely no faith in God yet He showed me His faithfulness. Thank you Jesus…
Oh Lord, you’re beautiful,
Your face is all I seek,
For when your eyes are on this child,
Your grace abounds to me.
I want to take your word and shine it all around.
But first help me just to live it Lord.
And when I’m doing well, help me to never seek a crown.
For my reward is giving glory to you.
Oh Lord, please light the fire,
That once burned bright and clear.
Replace the lamp of my first love,
That burns with Holy fear.
There’s a girl I have became closer with over the past year. I’ve known her for about five years and my first impression of her wasn’t good or bad. Indifferent? I never thought I would be able to get along with her and since I couldn’t register her personality,I came to my own conclusion that she was dense. Through connections and changes, we were more than just acquaintances. She got promoted to friend, from friend to marvelous comrade, from marvelous comrade to sister. Only by God’s grace was I able to meet such a person who (compared to most people) did less of judging, complaining, gossiping, hating, lacks self pity and conceit. She is full of patience, love, compassion, and wisdom.
New revelations about life and friends come into mind whenever I am with her. I am not chained down with the burdensome feeling of needing to please or satisfy her. There is no need to be careful with my words or actions because I know won’t act the wrong way around her. I am not good with words and this will be hard for me to try to explain but the truth is that you will act differently with different people. Some people will bring out the bad sides of you and others will bring out the goods. Some people will just bring out the true you.
What satisfies my heart the most? Not exchanging pictures, hanging out with a crowd of friends, or gossiping about people. Yes these things might make me content for the moment, but what I really thirst for is intimacy. With intimacy, there is no more need to try. There is only rest and the enjoyment of one’s company.
So thank you Lord for giving me yet another person I can be intimate with.
